What he's doing with us: American bass-baritone Eric Owens makes his COC debut in Peter Sellars' contemporary take on Handel's Hercules. Eric previously performed the role for the premiere of this new COC and Lyric Opera of Chicago co-production in 2011 to enthusiastic reviews, and is reuniting with the full cast at the COC this spring.
Where you might have seen him: Equally at home on the operatic stage and in recital, Eric is particularly well-known to Met Live in HD audiences for his performance as the scene-stealing Alberich in the Metropolitan Opera's latest Ring Cycle. He is also a popular choice with composers looking to create new, contemporary operas! In addition to the acclaim Eric received for his performance of the title character in the world premiere of Elliot Goldenthal's Grendel, composer John Adams created both the roles of General Leslie Groves in Doctor Atomic and The Storyteller in A Flowering Tree for Eric.
His background: Would you believe that this world-famous bass-baritone was almost a pianist, or an oboist instead? In his final year of high school, Eric switched his musical focus to vocal studies and went on to earn a bachelor of music in vocal performance from Temple University. He continued his studies in the graduate program at the Curtis Institute of Music and joined the young artist program at the Houston Grand Opera.
Interviews and profiles: NPR Music wrote about Eric just before the Met's production of Das Rheingold premiered in 2010; the New York Times interviewed Eric about his roles as villains and about his career trajectory; Eric opened up to the Los Angeles Times when he was performing as Sharpless in Madama Butterfly at LA Opera; and he received great praise from the Wall Street Journal for his performance in a recital last year.
What's next for Eric: In the fall of 2013, Eric performs as Alberich in Deutsche Oper Berlin's productions of Das Rheingold and Götterdämmerung, he returns to the Metropolitan Opera in the winter to perform as Sarastro in Julie Taymor's production of The Magic Flute and takes up the role of Vodnik in Rusalka at the Lyric Opera of Chicago just before joining us in Toronto for Hercules.
You can follow Eric on Twitter @EricOwensSinger, on Facebook, or on his website.
Watch Eric perform one of the most memorable arias from Le nozze di Figaro below.

What he's doing with us: tenor Dimitri Pittas made his COC debut as the Duke of Mantua in our 2011 production of Rigoletto. This fall he performs as Rodolfo in La Bohème and in the winter he makes his role debut as Riccardo in Un ballo in maschera. (Fun fact: his co-star, Adrianne Pieczonka, also makes her role debut in Ballo as Amelia!)
Where you might have seen him: Dimitri earned rave reviews for his portrayal as the Duke of Mantua when he was last in Toronto. Recently, Dimitri performed as Rodolfo in La Bohème at Frankfurt Opera, Houston Grand Opera and at the Lyric Opera of Chicago. In June he made his role debut as the titular character in Don Carlo at Théâtre du Capitole.
His background: Dimitri's music studies took him to the Crane School of Music, McGill University and SUNY Potsdam, and he was an apprentice artist with the Santa Fe Opera and Pittsburgh Opera. Dimitri later joined the Metropolitan Opera's Lindemann Young Artist Development Program and made his house debut with the Met as the Herald in Don Carlo.
Interviews and profiles: Classical Source has a long feature about Dimitri and his career prior to his performance as Macduff in the Royal Opera House's 2011 production of Macbeth, he was featured in Opera News, Dimitri and his fellow Rigoletto cast members were featured in this Toronto Star article and he received a glowing review for his role as Nemorino in L'elisir d'amore at Santa Fe Opera.
What's next for Dimitri: After his performances of La Bohème this fall, Dimitri performs Verdi's Requiem with both the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra and Amsterdam's Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, and performs as Oronte in David Alden's production of I lombardi alla prima crociata at the Hamburg State Opera.
You can follow Dimitri on Twitter @DimitriPittas, on Facebook, or on his website.
Watch Dimitri perform as Macduff in Macbeth in the video below.

What she's doing with us: Hailing from Penticton, B.C., soprano Layla Claire makes her COC debut at the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts as Fiordiligi in Atom Egoyan's brand new production of Mozart's romantic comedy, Così fan tutte.
Where you might have seen her: Well-known for her skills with Mozart's repertoire, Layla has performed a variety of roles onstage at Palm Beach Opera, Tanglewood Festival, Curtis Opera Theatre, Glyndebourne, Aix-en-Provence and at the Metropolitan Opera. While at the Met, she also performed the role of Helena in the world premiere of The Enchanted Island.
Her background: Layla earned an undergraduate and a master's degree from the University of Montreal, continued her studies at the Curtis Institute in Philadelphia and took her talents to the Metropolitan Opera's Lindemann Young Artist Development Program. (Two of her Così co-stars, Paul Appleby and Wallis Giunta, also graduated from the Lindemann program.)
Interviews and profiles: Layla was featured in Opera News last year about her time spent at the Lindemann program, a Toronto Star article profiled her performance as Sandrina in La finta giardiniera at the 2012 Aix Festival, and she is featured in a coaching session with conductor James Levine in the PBS documentary, America's Maestro. Most recently, she participated in a Q&A in a CBC Music blog post about being awarded the illustrious Virginia Parker Prize by the Canada Council for the Arts.
What's next for Layla: Before she heads to Toronto for Così in the winter, Layla stars as Pamina in The Magic Flute at the Pittsburgh Opera, and next spring she performs the same role at the Minnesota Opera.
You can follow Layla on Twitter @laylaclairesop, on Facebook, or on her website.
Watch Layla perform with Elizabeth DeShong (our Cenerentola from 2010) in this clip from The Enchanted Island.

The healthier a community, the better the environment for REALTORS®. Keeping a community attractive, livable, and functioning well is a complex task. Who better to be stewards of their community than REALTORS®? Whether your community is grappling with transportation and land use issues, crowded schools, or open space, or working to bring vacant properties back to productive use, NAR's Smart Growth program has resources to help you and your association plant seeds that will pay dividends for years to come.
2013 Community Preference Survey Findings Released
NAR's 2013 Community Preference Survey explores Americans' wants regarding neighborhood characteristics such as proximity to parks and shopping, walkability, and commuting time, and the trade-offs in home type and size that people may be willing to accept in order to obtain those neighborhood preferences.
The New Real Estate Mantra: Location Near Public Transportation
A study released by the American Public Transportation Association (APTA) and NAR reveals that during the last recession, residential property values performed 41 percent better on average if they were located near public transportation with high-frequency service.
Short-Term Rental Housing Restrictions White Paper
In several areas around the country, local governments are seeking to regulate short-term rental housing in various ways. This white paper, prepared by NAR consultant Robinson & Cole LLP, analyzes the issues raised by these different regulatory approaches; provides Realtors® with ways to address these issues, and outlines "best practices" approaches to short-term rental housing that Realtors® can use in discussing the issue with local government officials.
Water Infrastructure Toolkit
This Toolkit offers a grounding in the basic issues of water infrastructure and points to further resources for those wanting to delve deeper into particular aspects. The information can help REALTORS® be strong advocates for the water rights of their customers and be community leaders proactive in finding solutions to infrastructure challenges.
Transportation Toolkit
This toolkit contains 14 papers addressing topics relevant to today's transportation concerns. The National Association of Realtors® believes that transportation is a vitally important issue to communities and to the real estate industry. Also includes a glossary of terms, frequently asked questions and NAR's official policy.
Public Schools Toolkit
Schools are an important factor in a community's quality of life and are, therefore, an important factor in the business of real estate. NAR has produced this toolkit to help REALTORS® enhance their knowledge and understanding of the public school system so they can become involved in improving their schools and communities.
Smart Growth & Sustainability Initiatives State Report
The Smart Growth & Sustainability Initiatives State Report is a national report on state legislation and state administrative-level initiatives that concern sustainable design and development and smart growth issues. The Report provides a state-by-state summary and analysis of legislative proposals and administrative actions to address sustainability issues and smart growth principles.
Smart Growth Program Toolkit
Smart growth is not a short-term challenge and there is no single solution that fits all communities. Communities want to grow and prosper, but that growth, if it puts a strain on community services, could actually reduce prosperity and quality of life. This toolkit provides strategies that Realtors® can use to help build a stronger community for the long run.

Report Reveals World Bank's Role in Fuelling Climate Chaos
BONN, GERMANY, June 11, 2011 – A new report released today by Friends of the Earth International during the UN climate talks in Bonn this week shows that the World Bank Group has been increasing its investments in fossil fuels and promoting corporate-led false solutions to climate change, including carbon trading, that serve to deepen rather than alleviate the current environmental crisis.
Shell 'apologises' for worldwide damage in "erratum" to annual report
THE HAGUE, NETHERLANDS, May 17, 2011: During the Shell annual general assembly (AGM) in The Hague, today, Friends of the Earth International presented an "erratum" [1] to Shell's 2010 annual report. In this spoof "erratum", which was distributed among shareholders, Shell 'admits' that it is "causing a lot of unwanted and unnecessary damage" in its global oil-gas- and biofuels operations. The company also states that Shell "has learnt from these mistakes" and pledges to take "full responsibility to prevent and mitigate costs for the environment and people affected by our operations".

Shell breaks promises again and increases gas flaring in Nigeria
LAGOS (NIGERIA)/AMSTERDAM (NETHERLANDS), April 19, 2011 - Despite promises made by Shell since the 1990s to stop flaring the 'associated' gas released in oil production in Nigeria, the oil concern flared more gas in 2010 than it did in 2009 in the West African country. This has come to light from the sustainability report brought out by Shell last week.

Telluride at its Best
Just over a week ago now, I wrote a post about the day of freeskiing that Jesse and I spent in Squaw Valley. And while the skiing was a pleasant surprise, and the High Camp hot tub party sounded like a good time, it was still California, and let's just say that after a week of skiing back in T-ride capped off with a sweet End-of-Season celebration at Hoot's Hut, it was good to be home.
And what a great season it was to celebrate. As I mentioned in my first blog post of the winter, this has been my first full winter back in Telluride since my freshman year of high school, and it definitely did not disappoint. There are never enough powder days, but we had a few good ones, even though I missed the apparently epic, two-foot dump a couple weeks back.
To me, the annual but unofficial gathering at Hoot's Hut perfectly demonstrates what makes Telluride such a great ski community; it really is a community. The Hot Tub party at Squaw had a couple of weak MCs, a bar serving drinks that I was scared to even ask the price of, and a heated pool and hot tub. Sweet.
But Telluride has something so much more organic. I talked to a few of the guys who apparently started the celebration six or seven years back with nothing more than a six-pack (I'm guessing of PBR), and have watched and helped it grow in the time since. In the few days leading up to the last day of the season, they lugged BOBs (boxes of beer, bags of burgers (and hot dogs and brats), and bags of buns) all the way up to Hoot's Hut, so huge kudos and thanks to them. And from there, they grilled those burgers, brats and hot dogs, and tossed those PBRs among the crowd, all for nothing more than the tips we left and the enjoyment of hosting a group of good people having a good time.
That's just a phenomenal thing guys, by far the highlight of a season with many highlights for me.
It was also cool to watch a group of talented skiers (and a boarder) each try to one up the last, seshin' a pretty sweet cliff-drop off to skier's right and to cheers and support from the crowd below.
I unfortunately missed Nick Kenworthy's drop, which as far as I know at least, kicked off the sesh. But I did catch Kolby Ward's Rodeo 7, and later, whoever that snowboarder was who floated that huge back flip. It was cool to see the party feed the skiers/boarder and vice versa, and really, I think that kind of dynamic lies at the heart of any great ski community.
One dilemma I'm facing in this blog post is that I think part of what made the Hoot's Hut party so cool was that it is still kind of underground, and I'm not sure I should be the one to blow the lid. Now I am fully aware that not too many people read this blog anyway, but I would love some feedback as far as how much I should write and reveal. I've intentionally left the location at least somewhat unclear with the hopes that only people truly who belong will be able to find it next year with the clues I've given. But I do want to put a short video up, which I'm sure will give more away. So if you like or dislike that idea, or have any other feelings on how much I should tell about it, please feel free to leave a comment and/or drop me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com. If I don't hear feedback either way, I'll just put up a short video that I think strikes a fair balance.
I left Telluride for Chamonix with my parents on Tuesday. We arrived yesterday afternoon, and what a beautiful place. Speaking of great ski communities, this is one of the first and greatest in the world. I'll do my best to keep blogging regularly over the course of our 10-day trip so keep an eye out for those.
Happy off-seasons.

Gun Buybacks are an effective way to remove unwanted guns from our community. Why would someone have a gun that they no longer want? Perhaps they inherited the gun or no longer use or want the gun in their home.
Additionally, many people's circumstances change over time so they may now wish to remove firearm access from:
children or other family members; elderly with dementia; individuals with mental illness; those at risk of suicide; volatile, hot-headed individuals (teenagers with poor judgment); and people involved in emotional conflicts (abuse, relationship break-ups).
Watch the Coalition Against Gun Violence October 17 Forum, "Safety In Our Homes, Schools and Community."
You can see this video on CAGV's Facebook and Twitter pages and will air on SBTV, public access Channel 17. Contact CAGV for schedule.
The tragedy of children lost to their families forever has overwhelmed the souls of people nationally and internationally with near wordless grief. With the loss of a child, grief does not abate or come to closure. Many families have turned grief into action. We know from past massacres that thoughts and prayers are not enough. We demand action!
We send those closest to our hearts, our precious innocent children to where we think is a safe place –our neighborhood schools. But in the land of the free, our hearts are filled with fear because there is no safe place in a country where 300,000,000 firearms are easily accessible. The reality is that only one-third of Americans own firearms, and 300,000,000 firearms have not created a safer America. Whether these weapons are legally owned or not, does not matter. A legal upstanding gun owner is one argument or one crisis away from violence. These dangerous killing weapons are in homes, presumably protecting the family from harm.
No other country in the Western world has this kind of violence attributable to firearms. America's culture of violence provides a crucible for permissible murderous acts. Let us not play politics with death and sorrow. Let us consider conflict resolution and what all sides can agree upon.
We must agree to take action:
More than 20 family members and victims of mass shootings met in Washington, DC with leaders in Congress and the White House calling on them to seriously address gun violence in this nation. The group released the following letter asking leaders and the American public for a meaningful dialogue and swift action:
"We are Republicans and Democrats, from "blue states" and "red states." We live in cities, suburbs and rural areas. We are from many different walks of life. Some of us own guns. Some of us don't. "We know that the overwhelming majority of Americans support sensible solutions that would have prevented many of our tragedies, and can prevent many more every day."
The full text of the letter can be read and signed at http://wearebetterthanthis.org/
The Declaration of Independence states the inalienable rights of the people to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness; and that a government is necessary to ensure our Safety and Happiness. The first duty of all elected officials is the safety of the public.
We are not safe. We demand action!

AB 1527 THE LONG GUN OPEN CARRY BAN - Portantino, (44th Assembly District, La Canada-Flintridge)
This legislation would prohibit individuals from openly carrying unloaded rifles and shotguns in public.
SB 1366 PREVENT ILLEGAL GUNS ACT - Lost and Stolen – DeSaulnier, (D-7th State Senate District)
This bill would require that, beginning January 1, 2013, every person whose firearm is lost or stolen must notify local law enforcement within 48 hours of the time the person knew or reasonably should have known that the firearm had been lost or stolen. Under existing law, local law enforcement must enter reports of lost or stolen firearms into the state's Automated Firearms System database.
Both bills passed the legislature and were sent to the Governor's desk with mixed results. Governor Brown signed AB 1527 into law September 28th, but vetoed SB 1366, saying he did not think it would make a difference as responsible people would report a stolen gun. Brown did not fully comprehend the force of this bill. This is a major disappointment for law enforcement state-wide and all the thousands of supporters who worked tirelessly on this reasonable gun legislation. Thank you for your efforts.
How did Florida's gun death rate suddenly become almost 50% higher than California's? The question is particularly relevant to the 2012 election. After 1999, when Republicans won control of Florida's Legislature and the Governor's office, they passed 38 gun-friendly laws, culminating in Stand Your Ground (SYG). This notorious 2005 law allows people to use lethal force in self-defense in public places even when they could avoid it. After SYG, between 2005 and 2009 (the latest CDC data) Florida's firearm homicide rate shot up 21%.
In contrast, California—a Democratic state—had been strengthening its gun laws since the early 1990's. As the regulations took effect its gun homicide rate declined dramatically—by 53% from the 1993 California (and national) peak, far more than the decline in the rest of the nation.
Since the 2005 SYG law, remarkably, Florida's firearm homicide rate soared higher than California's, even though California is a more urban state with greater inner-city gang and gun violence problems.After SYG more Floridians brought guns into their homes. Not coincidentally, from 2005 to 2009 Florida's gun suicide rate jumped 20%, driving its total suicide rate up 16%. (Suicide attempts with firearms are much more likely to be lethal than are attempts by other means.)
Florida's total firearm mortality rate also increased—by 20% from 2005 to 2009. (In 2005, 1,824 Floridians died by gunfire; in 2009, 2,306 died.) By 2009 Florida's firearm mortality rate was almost 50% higher than California's, because that state's firearm mortality rate had continued to drop. California's gun policies helped cut gun deaths without infringing on Constitutional rights.Source: Griffin Dix, President, Oakland/Alameda County, Brady Chapter
(The following is excerpted from a message to health professionals in observance of Suicide Prevention Week, Sept. 9–15 by Linda Rosenberg, MSW, President and CEO, National Council for Community Behavioral Healthcare.)
Before this year comes to an end, another one million people around the world will die by suicide. We have all heard what drives people to take their own lives … But there's another risk factor that's rarely mentioned, even though it accounts for more than half of the suicide deaths in the U.S. each year. That culprit is guns.
Some may argue that guns are merely the methods used for suicide, like drowning or suffocation. However, a review of statistics and scientific studies finds that guns are not only a popular means of suicide, but that access to firearms is strongly associated with the increased risk of suicide.
A study in 2007 by researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health found that people who live in areas with high concentrations of guns are more likely to die by suicide. The study, which accounted for factors like poverty, substance use, and mental illness, looked at the 15 states with the highest firearm ownership and found that twice as many people committed suicide compared to those in the six states with the lowest firearm ownership. Published in "The Journal of Trauma," the study concluded, "The ready availability of firearms is likely to have the greatest effect on suicide rates in groups characterized by more impulsive behavior."
That "impulsive behavior" the researchers referred to is what makes guns a death sentence for people intent on killing themselves… A 2002 study in the "Journal of Epidemiology & Community Health" found that attempts involving firearms were 2.5 times more lethal than those involving suffocation — the second most lethal form of suicide.
Guns leave little hope for the thousands of people who survive suicide attempts every year and manage to turn around their lives. People who swallow pills, inhale fumes, or slash their wrists have some time to reconsider their desperate actions. Even if they are not rescued, these methods often fail, leaving open the hope that they will seek treatment. But with a firearm, once the trigger is pulled, there's no turning back.
You don't often see "suicide" and "gun control" in the same sentence, but the facts are too overwhelming to ignore. Not only is death by firearms now the fastest growing method of suicide, but guns are even used more in suicides than homicides.
There's no doubt in my mind that people who have less access to guns are less likely to commit suicide. While gun owners reportedly keep a firearm in their home for "protection" or "self-defense," 83% of gun-related deaths in these homes are the result of a suicide, often by someone other than the gun owner.
I encourage you to speak up about guns and suicide. Contact your legislators [and bring this issue into the 2012 election debate.] Now is indeed the time to bring gun control into our conversations on suicide. Those served by National Council member organizations are often the most likely people to consider suicide and to take their own lives and they are looking to us for leadership, and counting on us to take action.
— Linda Rosenberg, MSW, President & CEO, National Council for Community Behavioral Healthcare
Marqus Hill was denied a permit to carry a gun in Philadelphia after a 2005 confrontation with officers. But that didn't stop Hill, he applied for a firearms license from Florida. Though police said Hill lost a 2008 appeal to win back his permit and then reacted by assaulting a police officer in court, Florida mailed him a gun license in 2009. On September 12, 2010, Hill gunned down 18-year old Irving Santana who allegedly broke into his car. Hill shot Santana 13 times. Hill was arrested and charged with murder. This case highlights a loophole that allows nonresidents of three states, Florida, New Hampshire and Utah, to obtain gun permits even if their home states have denied or revoked permits for them. Florida's application can be filled out online and the permit is sent by mail. Officials in Pennsylvania estimate that 3,000 – 4,000 people in their state have obtained permits this way.

Wonderful list, but how you can call a great film like The Anderson Tapes a "misfire" is a mystery to me.
Gaines | February 21, 2013 7:57 AM
Great list, love the sub-genre, lots of titles I haven't heard of, and definitely gonna check out.
One of my favourite '70s thriller was "Two-Minute Warning" (1976). Mind you, it's not a great film (not sure if it's a little known gem, or simply little known; last time I've seen it was 10-ish years ago, so I probably need to rewatch it at some point to see if it holds up), but it builds its suspense nicely - it's about a nameless, faceless sniper targeting a football stadium, the authorities trying to prevent the attack, and a bunch of disparate people, including Beau Bridges, Martin Balsam and Gena Rowlands, going to/preparing for the big game -, and it has Charlton Heston's detective playing off of John Cassavetes as a SWAT team leader.
Marshall Fox | February 21, 2013 7:38 AM
Here's a worthy, offbeat title: "Winter Kills" (1979) --a totally interesting paranoid folly (from a book by Richard Condon) with a killer cast: Jeff Bridges, John Huston, Anthony Perkins, Eli Wallach, Sterling Hayden, Dorothy Malone, Toshiro Mifune, Richard Boone, and an uncredited Elizabeth Taylor!
Fürchtegott | February 21, 2013 5:39 AM
Paul Schraders "Blue Collar" with a fantastic cast (Harvey Keitel, Richard Pryor, Yaphet Kotto). No supercops, no supervillains - but a very realistic view to the economic downfall at the end of the Seventies. A "social" thriller.
Dave | February 20, 2013 5:35 PM
Straight Time and another Connery flick, The Great Train Robbery
sidney falco | February 20, 2013 5:27 PM
Great article...I could read about 70's thrillers forever...a very under-rated TV gem is Michael Crichton's PURSUIT. It's based on a book he wrote under John Lange entitled "Binary" and he directed it too. Top tension as a political extremist plans to spread stolen nerve gas in a city where a political convention is being held. Government agent Ben Gazarra is sent to catch him. Joe Bob says, "Check It Out!!"
max | February 20, 2013 5:18 PM
Good list.
Another picture I'd love to shoe-horn in is Richard Lester's terrific sea thriller from 1974, JUGGERNAUT. It was an obvious influence on Jan De Bont's 1994 action thriller, SPEED.
Ron Paul Reubens | February 20, 2013 4:47 PM
"John Williams scored both movies and we swear he subtly steals from his own oeuvre"
Wouldn't be surprising considering he has stolen from everyone else's.
G.T.O. | February 20, 2013 4:24 PM
Nice article ! Day of the Jackal is a great film.
Todd | February 20, 2013 4:03 PM
Into the "interesting other" category I'll throw out 1972's "Prime Cut" by Michael Ritchie. Featuring the seedy underbelly of the Kansas City ground meat mafia (in an apparent drug war with the Chicago mob), Lee Marvin, and Gene Hackman as a character named Mary Ann.
Not great, but awesome.

Grand Forks County Woman Missing Since SundayA Grand Forks County woman has been reported missing after leaving Grand Forks Sunday en route to Shelton, WA, to visit relatives.
By: WDAZ Staff Report, WDAZ
A Grand Forks County woman has been reported missing after leaving Grand Forks Sunday en route to Shelton, WA, to visit relatives.
The Sheriff's Department reports Florence Agness Dumontet, 82, fueled her pickup in Grand Forks on Sunday at about 7:20 a.m.
She was last seen wearing a white colored jacket, black slacks, black shoes and eye glasses. Her hair is a bit longer than in the photo attached to this article.
Dumontet is 5 feet tall and weighs 150 pounds, with white hair and blue eyes.
Her family says Dumontet has a heart condition.
The truck she was driving is a 2008 Lincoln Mark LT crew-cab with ND license plate HXY-089, with chrome nerf bars, black vinyl tonneau cover over the pick-up box and chrome accent rocker panels on the lower side of the truck.
Dumontet likely had to refuel in Bismarck sometime between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. and then again in Miles City, MT.
According to an Idaho I-90 corridor license plate reader, Dumontet's vehicle hasn't traveled through that area.
Dumontet was to have arrived in Washington on Monday. The Sheriff's Department says Dumontet is generally meticulous about her schedule and stays in touch while traveling.
She hasn't been heard from and her cell phone goes directly to voicemail.
In past trips to Washington, Dumontet has always stayed overnight in Missoula, MT.
She was also traveling with a cream colored poodle.
If you have any information about Dumontet's whereabouts, call the Grand Forks County Sheriff's Department at 701-780-8280.

On December 14, 1962, useful scientific information was radioed to Earth from the vicinity of another planet for the first time. The unmanned Mariner 2 spacecraft, with its six scientific instruments, passed within 34,800 kilometers (21,600 miles) of Venus. Mariner 2 indicated that Venus is very hot and has no measurable magnetic fields or radiation belts. On the way to Venus, Mariner 2's instruments detected and measured the radiation, magnetic fields, and dust of interplanetary space.
Contact with Mariner 2 was lost on January 2, 1963; it is now in orbit around the Sun. The spacecraft on display was constructed from test components by engineers from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

BlackBerry 10 is here at last and so, of course, there's another BlackBerry-tastic music video from VP of Developer Relations, Alec Saunders. Now that BlackBerry's actually delivered on those promises from the first song, you can't fault 'em for wanting to take a victory lap, even if it's really hard to watch. Read More >>
With the launch of the last-chance Z10 around the corner for the rest of the world, BlackBerry is giving itself a pep talk to keep those hopes high despite not exactly doing great on our shores. And according to CEO Thorsten Heins, the iPhone's hardly in the race BlackBerry's fixin' to win because it's old news. Read More >>
BlackBerry's demise, much talked about and somewhat goaded, is on hold while the world reacts to the BlackBerry 10 OS and two handsets launching on March 22. And already someone has come forward to buy a million units. So that's...unexpected. Read More >>

If there was one word to sum up general opinion on the BlackBerry 10 launch, it would be 'meh'. There's a feeling that it's too little, too late. But we've been here before -- back in 2009, with Palm, and it seems that BlackBerry's going the same way. Read More >>
RimBerry's happy statement that the new BB10 phones are launching with 70,000 bespoke apps was a bit of a white lie, with one of the company's own men admitting that up to 40 per cent of these are frantic Android port jobs. Read More >>
Last night the world held its collective breath as RIM BlackBerry took its sweet arse time trotting out the BlackBerry Z10 and Q10 and amidst all the shenanigans, the company formerly known as RIM managed to show off a few notable new BB10 features, too. In case you missed all the live coverage last night, you can find everything and anything related to BlackBerry 10 below. Read More >>
Last night BlackBerry demoed what it's calling BlackBerry Balance, a clever way of separating one's personal and work lives in one device. You don't see it as much these days but carrying two phones — one for business, one for pleasure — was commonplace not too long ago. I remember having a BlackBerry 6200 alongside my Sidekick 2; and I'm sure a lot of you remember those days as well. Read More >>
The BlackBerry Z10 might be the prom queen of the BB10 launch, but the Q10 and its physical keyboard is what a lot of people are actually waiting for. "Will I still be able to have a BlackBerry like my BlackBerry after this?" Sure, just better. Read More >>
So, RIM is now just BlackBerry. BlackBerry 10 is finally here too, and we've been bestowed with not one, but two new BB10 handsets -- the BlackBerry Z10 and Q10. Even the PlayBook's getting in on the BB10 action. But what do you really think? Is this enough to save RIM BlackBerry? Or are we just staring down the barrel of another "Palm Pre moment"? Read More >>
At first blush there's a lot to like about BB10, BlackBerry (née RIM)'s last great hope at redemption. But the first thing you might love is the revamped BBM. It's crazy slick, and your iPhone is jealous. Read More >>
BlackBerry's QWERTY handset for BlackBerry 10 is here. BlackBerry 10 does away with a lot of baggage that has been holding BlackBerry back, but the QWERTY keyboard is here to stay, and this slim, lightweight Q10 phone is its future. Read More >>
Here it is. It's the new Blackberry Z10. It's official, it looks exactly like the leaked photos and the renders we published. Read More >>
If you're interested in such trifling things as a fallen tech giant rising with power and grace from the ashes in a phoenix-like maelstrom of ashes and redemption, good news! RIM's unveiling its BlackBerry 10 operating system, and livestreaming the feed to all the internets everywhere right now. Read More >>
Well, here goes. RIM is announcing its new BlackBerry 10 OS and hardware today. This could be the launch that gets RIM back in the game for smartphones. Or it could be the last time BlackBerry is relevant. It's a big moment. Read More >>

LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Today, DISH (NASDAQ: DISH) introduced the DISH Explorer™ app for iPad, an intuitive second-screen app for the Hopper™ Whole-Home HD DVR platform that combines program-discovery tools, social media engagement and remote-control capabilities.
"Customers are already using tablets while watching TV but, until Explorer, it had been two separate experiences," said Vivek Khemka, vice president of Product Management at DISH. "What we've done is develop an integrated, seamless experience between the tablet and the television; only the Hopper creates an entirely new viewing dynamic."
Available tomorrow, DISH Explorer expands the functionality of the Hopper by allowing customers to:
* Discover popular and trending shows, including sporting events, across hundreds of live-TV channels, DVR recordings and on-demand programs;
* Engage with fans of the same show over Twitter and Facebook using the iPad;
* Control the Hopper from an iPad, including channel guide navigation and DVR management;
* Search live TV, DVR and on-demand programs using iPad's keyboard instead of the remote control.
The new app recommends shows and reveals popular programs by cross-referencing social media television viewing trends and real-time viewership data from DISH's customer base.
DISH Explorer allows customers to connect with the social media community about their favorite shows. Using the app, customers can log in to Twitter and Facebook and, in real-time, comment and track posts from fans of the shows they are watching.
For the sports enthusiast, Explorer incorporates Thuuz™ ratings to identify the hottest games on TV and provides viewers with real-time sports stats when watching live events on the Hopper. The Explorer's view into trending data can signal sporting events that are quickly becoming 'must see' events.
"The Thuuz ratings on Explorer means sports fans can quickly see the potential no-hitters, the shut-outs and the upsets forming live before the sports recap on the evening news," said Khemka. "Seeing the big events live is always better and Explorer helps deliver that experience."
DISH Explorer connects to an Internet-connected Hopper via Wi-Fi and eliminates the need for the remote control. The app makes it easy to navigate all Hopper programming options with the iPad.
DISH Explorer app will be available at no charge in Apple's App Store on January 7.

1) You cannot use your favorite lists for the guide, it shows everything. You can have it not show unsubscribed channels and apply filters but no easy way to just cycle through your favorites.
2) It doesn't show OTA channels.
I'm not sure how much I'd actually use it but I'll be looking forward to an Android version, does Direct have theirs on Android?

Not trying to be a kill joy Mr Vivek Khemka, but I've been doing this very thing on my iPad with Directv for over a year now.

On the failure of the Supercommittee to reach a budget agreement…
Everybody knew the Supercommittee wasn't going to do anything. And by the way, there are no spending cuts. Even with sequestration. There are no spending cuts. It's just reductions in the rate of growth. It's the same old thing. Spending is still gonna up! It's just like everything else, with the U.S. budget – it's said to be a cut because it's not going up as much. But defense spending, with sequestration, will still go up 16%. There's no spending cuts here. Zilch, zero, nada. But anyway, folks, the market's not down because the Supercommittee is gonna admit failure. Everybody knew this was gonna happen.

Health Research Institute reports on implications of US Supreme Court ruling on healthcare
NEW YORK, June 28, 2012 – Today's Supreme Court ruling upholding the Affordable Care Act gives extra punch to the market forces pushing healthcare away from fee-for-service and re-injects a new sense of urgency into the transformation of the health industry, according to a report published today by the Health Research Institute (HRI) of PwC US.
"Despite the political uncertainty, private-sector initiatives, accentuated and accelerated by the health reform law, are moving forward," said Kelly Barnes, Leader of PwC's U.S. Health Industries practice. "The pressure for innovative ways to provide higher-quality, more affordable healthcare continues. Healthcare organizations that have been sitting on the sidelines will now have to get in the game and play catch-up."
In the report,Implications of the US Supreme Court ruling on healthcare, HRI explores answers to the question: "What's next?" for states, employers, insurance companies, physicians, hospitals and other providers and pharmaceutical and life sciences companies. According to HRI:
Leading health sector participants have been devising new ways to conduct business and move ahead of the competition in the face of impending deadlines under the Affordable Care Act. Among the provisions that are scheduled to take effect soon are new reporting and disclosure obligations for employers, benefit design changes for certain health plans, penalties for hospitals that have unnecessarily high readmissions, and a requirement that insurers devote 80-85 percent of their premiums to medical care or refund the difference. In addition, participants will need to accelerate efforts to be competitive for federal funding that will be available for innovation, health insurance exchanges, new quality measures and other provisions of the law.
To date, more than $1 billion in grants has been allocated to support state exchange readiness, and Medicaid spending is expected to total $4.2 trillion from 2012 to 2021. With 23 million individuals anticipated to buy insurance from the exchanges and 17 million people enrolling in Medicaid by 2021, the two provisions are heightening activity in states.
HRI analysis shows that so far, 29 percent of states (14 states plus D.C.) have made significant progress toward reform, while 37 percent (19 states) have made moderate progress. The remaining 33 percent (17 states) have done less to implement the law. To meet expectations and deadlines, some states may need to collaborate with other states that are farther along to leverage infrastructure and information.

Bid to block youth service cuts fails (From Gazette)

Bid to block youth service cuts fails
6:00am Friday 13th December 2013 in News By Will Lodge, Senior reporter
ESSEX County Council has been criticised for planning to cut £3million from its youth services while still handing over millions in public money to consultants.
The Tory-controlled council have been told to save £215million in the next two years, with cuts to the budget for youth clubs and out of school activities forming part of its savings plan.
The proposal was criticised by Lib Dem councillors at this week's full council meeting, as they tried to get them put on hold.
A Lib Dem motion also proposed setting aside £5million in a special budget, just for youth services.
Lib Dem county councillor David Kendall told the meeting: "There have been 5,117 representations to the council, which shows just how important an issue this is to our residents.
"We want to minimise the devastating impact this will have on communities around Essex.
"These cuts will affect the mobile youth bus and youth workers on the ground.
"At the same time, the council is spending more than £10million a year on temporary staff and more than £5million on consultants."
Fellow Lib Dem Theresa Higgins said: "There are a lot of dedicated staff who are highly skilled to deal with young people and also to train volunteers.
"It's all very well having volunteers leading the service, but they need support with paperwork, training and other issues.
However Ray Gooding, Tory councillor responsible for young people, said the council was still awaiting the results of consultations on the cuts.
He said: "Young people have been the most supportive and most understanding in this whole process. They've come up with some really interesting proposals.
"We need to make significant savings, but within that, it's about redesigning the service.
"In many ways, this is premature, the decision hasn't been made. When it's presented, we can deal with it then."
The motion was backed by all 32 opposition councillors but voted down by the majority Tory group.
County Hall spends more on temps
THE amount the council has spent on temporary staff has increased in the past year according to figures obtained by the Lib Dem group.
The amount being given to outside consultants, while reducing, was still more than £7million last year.
In 2010-11 County Hall spent £11.3million on temps.
This reduced to £9.8million, the following year, but increased again last year, to £10.6million.
In the first six months of the current year alone, it has spent £7.9 million.
Spending on consultants was £24.4million in 2010-11. In 2011-12 it was £16.4million and last year, £7.4million. In the six months to October the council gave consultants £2.4million.

Let's look at the meals budget. County Councillors - with one notable exception - regularly help themselves to roast pork, or smoked salmon, claret and all the trimmings -at our expense.
Then there's the chairman's chauffeur driven limo...
Let's take the lid off the expenses pot - then look in more depth at these "consultants".
Then maybe see how much is spent on "minority" schemes.
Come on Echo, get your finger out. Let's look at the REAL money wasters.

I applied through college or university and the process took 3 weeks - interviewed at EY.
Interview Details 1st round: on campus, with a senior person in a similar position. 45mins. Basic behavioral/experiential questions. Non-technical.
Final Round: 3 back-to-back interviews in their Alpharetta office. The first interview was with a current business analyst, second was with someone in a different department who is non-technical, and the third is with someone with a much more technical background. He/she will ask hard questions. They weren't hard in the sense that they were thought provoking, just ambiguous and poorly worded. There may have been somewhat of a language barrier.

Very Difficult Interview
I applied through college or university and the process took 3 months - interviewed at EY in March 2012.
Interview Details The hiring process is interesting in the sense that it imitates actual work at the company.
The process starts with a not so quick case to be solved, followed by a group presentation.
People are eliminated and the rest of them go to two 1:1 interviews.
The case part is fair and square, and the participants can notice why people were declined by the company. It's pretty obvious.
My interviews lasted longer than the usual 40 minutes because I could develop well. The real "Questions", cases and market sizings were nailed in less than 10 minutes, and the rest of the chat was a chat.
Interview Question – The most dificult or unexpected questions for me are the personal ones. Usually interviewers assume that you have reasons for doing things or being there. I don't. So I have to come up with plausible answers. Answer Question
Reason for Declining – São Paulo is terrible for living.

Lancashire made sure that they got the best of both worlds in their three-day first-class fixture against Durham UCCE at the Racecourse after combining valuable match practice with a confidence boosting 286-run victory.
The Red Rose county, who set the students a mammoth 470 runs to win in the final two sessions of the match today, completed a thrilling success by bowling them out for 183 with only four balls of today's final day left. [Scorecard]
The star performer of Lancashire's day was all-rounder Tom Smith, who recorded his maiden first-class century in their second innings effort of 183-4 declared. The 23 year-old opened the batting last night with Ashwell Prince, and notched his century off 164 balls in the over before lunch today. He finished on 104 not out, while Steven Croft hit a heartening 42 before the declaration came.
Oliver Newby (4-21 from eleven overs) then looked to have set Lancashire up for a crushing victory in double quick time with all of his wickets helping to reduce the students to a worrying 88-7. But Paul Dixey and Robbie Williams (31) shared an impressive eighth wicket stand of 80 to frustrate Lancs.
Dixey, a wicketkeeper who has played first team cricket for Kent, went on to record a fine 103 to become the fifth Durham University player to record a century in first-class cricket - two of them against Lancashire.
It looked as if the hosts would hold on for a draw, but enter the medium pace of former Durham Uni student Mark Chilton. The recognised batsman, who had scored a first innings century, took two of the last three wickets to fall. He snapped up Williams with his first ball, caught at short fine-leg by Karl Brown, before having Dixey caught at bat-pad by Brown in the closing stages.
Gary Keedy, who finished with 2-60 from 30 overs, sandwiched his second wicket in-between, removing John Glover caught by Brown at bat-pad.
Lancashire are not in action again until next Sunday when they host Glamorgan Dragons at Old Trafford in the opening Friends Provident Trophy match (12 noon start).
